Freight network digital twin
Simulate the future of freight.
A living digital twin of the U.S. freight network. Change any variable and watch the shockwave travel.
What is Rodimus?
Rodimus is a digital twin of the U.S. freight network: a model of lanes, shippers, carriers and facilities that planners can question before something happens. Ask what a hurricane, a tariff or a new technology would do, and the twin is built to show which lanes, capacity and rates would move, and why. It is a preview for early design partners.

Scenarios
What would you ask?
Ten questions about the physical economy, and what the twin is built to model for each.
Weather
Hurricane in Houston
What happens if a hurricane hits Houston next month?
Autonomy
Autonomous long-haul
What happens if autonomous vehicles take over long-haul trucking from Chicago to Los Angeles?
Robotics
Humanoid local delivery
What happens if humanoids start doing hyper-local deliveries?
Aviation
Drone parcels
What happens if drones take over every delivery under five pounds?
Infrastructure
Data centers in Phoenix
What happens if a wave of data centers breaks ground in Phoenix?
Trade
Nearshoring to Mexico
What happens if half of U.S. manufacturing nearshores to Mexico?
Energy
Electric short haul
What happens if electric trucks replace diesel on every route under 300 miles?
Manufacturing
Humanoids building humanoids
What happens when humanoids start building humanoids?
Policy
Tariffs reroute imports
What happens if new tariffs reroute imports next quarter?
Production
3D printing near customers
What happens if 3D printing moves production next door to the customer?
How it works
01
Map the network
The twin represents U.S. freight as a graph: lanes that connect shippers, carriers and facilities, with the capacity each one carries.
02
Change a variable
Choose what changes: a storm, a tariff, a new plant or a new kind of vehicle. The twin is built to apply it to the parts of the network it touches.
03
Follow the shockwave
See which lanes, capacity and rates would move, in what order and why, so planners can act before the change reaches them.
“Most market intelligence explains what has already happened. We are building a model of the physical economy to address a more consequential question: What happens next, and what happens after that?”
